The iFanboy.com Comic Book Podcast is a weekly talk show all about the best new current comic book releases. Lifelong friends, Conor Kilpatrick and Josh Flanagan talk about what they loved and (sometimes) hated in the current weekly books, from publishers like Marvel, DC, Image Comics, Dark Horse Comics, BOOM! Studios, IDW, Aftershock, Valiant, and more. The aim is to have a fun time, some laughs, but to also really understand what makes comic books work and what doesn’t, and trying to understand the craft of this great, often under appreciated art form. Sometimes they agree, and sometimes… they don’t. With decades of experience talking about comics, interacting with comic book professionals, this is all about the love of an art form. If the names Brian Michael Bendis, Amanda Conner, Geoff Johns, Gene Luen Yang, Donny Cates, Jason Aaron, Kelly Thompson, David Marquez, Kelly Sue de Connick, Kieron Gillen, Charles Soule, Ta-Nehisi Coates, Scott Snyder, Tom King, Mitch Gerads, Esad Ribic, Rick Remender, Nick Spencer, John Ridley, Skottie Young, Chip Zdarsky, Jöelle Jones, David F. Walker, Grant Morrison, and Darwyn Cooke get you excited, then this is the place for you. This podcast is so good, you don’t even need to read comic books or graphic novels to enjoy it, but it’s a lot better if you do.

The show was running on time and then everything fell apart at the very end after some ranting and reminiscing elbowed its way into the show. But none of that nonsense should distract from the real question: do you respect numbers?

Customer Reviews
Great comic book review show
Great comic book podcast with weekly updates and reviews on comic books, movies and others. Great listen for comic book fans.
Simply The Best
I’ve listened to this show for over 10 years.
Josh, Connor (& Ron) are knowledgeable and passionate about comics. Focused and not heavy handed.
They enhanced my enjoyment of a medium I’ve been involved in for almost 50 years.
It’s entertains the way your favorite radio crew is fun. I’ve never met these guys but feel like we are friends from the show.
Worth your time to listen.
Great for staying current
Love to hear what’s happening in comics in general and these guys have a lot of context to provide that. Especially love learning more about specific creators based on their takes.
